My initial reaction to Sotomayor's 'richness of experience' claim was to find it disarming, but I was reading the quote out of context. I found it disarming because it seemed so humble.

The problem for affirmative action advocates is that Sotomayor's story is atypical of the stories one finds at the most prestigious universities. There's a danger of not seeing the forest for one exceptional tree.

Just when you thought we might be able to move past all the race-based criticism of Sotomayor comes this morning's article on how affirmative action benefited her academic career.

I toast the little immigrant ladies who push strollers on our streets, who silently come to clean our apartments, and without a word of English somehow we manage to understand each other.

The anti-affirmative action hit against Sotomoyor is more than an attempt by the conservative hawks to derail her confirmation. The goal is to chill her on the court and batter affirmative action.

In order to cut the unemployment rate in those communities to the projected national rate of 6.5 percent, an additional 1.7 million jobs would have to be created and go directly to Blacks and Latinos by 2010.

Working alongside the men, rather than in the room next door, seemed to us the best way to reach the Downing Street Project's goal -- not just the women.

The past four decades have been a mixture of social growing pains and progress. Even with that said, most people never believed that a Black man would become the President.

If a white man with Clarence Thomas's meager background of minor government bureaucrat had been put up for the Supreme Court, there would have been outrage. Except that he was Black.

In the workplace, few hiring decisions have ever been based on merit only. For most of our nation's history, we had, in effect, de facto affirmative action for white men.

The time has come to put our votes and our money where our mouth is and no longer tolerate the malleable bigotry of those who profess to be our friends, but also say we are not quite worthy of the same rights.
